Hello,

I have been bleeding for 4 weeks now with no other symptoms. I am on the pill and have been for 7 years with not many problems. In the last year I have been experiencing pain during sex, I bleed after sex and have regular lower left pelvic pain. I was sent for an ultrasound and a transvaginal scan and both came back normal however it was noted that I was in a lot of pain during the transvaginal scan. I had sti tests done and also come back clear. My doctor referred me for a laparoscopy (possible endo) and I'm still waiting for that 5 months later with no surgery date booked in.

My current concern is that I have been bleeding for more than 4 weeks now. I was not due a period, hadn't had sex for at least 2 weeks prior and I am not pregnant. A week after bleeding I visited my doctor who said that if I walked in there and was 25 and said these symptoms he'd be sending me for a smear test which obviously worried me. I'm 22. He suggested checking for stis again so I was booked in with the nurse a couple of days later. She told me I'd get a phone call about the results and I asked what would happen if the tests came back clear and I was still bleeding and in pain and she told me there was nothing more than could be done I'd only be told to take paracetamol. The tests subsequently come back clear. After bleeding for 2 weeks I stopped taking my pill and forced a period to rule out that it was my body which needed a period and that's why it was bleeding (even though the blood/pain I was having was completely different). The period I had in that week was the worst I'd ever experienced in both amount of blood and extreme pain. I went back on my pill and the period blood stopped but the same kind of blood I had before the period was still there and it's now been 4 weeks.

i am very worried, please can someone advise either any ideas what it could be or what I could do next? It's ruining many parts of my life currently and started to seriously get me down. :(

thanks
